trillion a year deficit. you're not going to solve all that with tax increases and cutting discretionary programs. we have to fix the intitlement programs. we can talk about how we do it. >> you have to be specific, steve. because when you talk about fixing the entitlement programs, we're clear, social security is off the table. what do you mean? >> what secretary geithner said is on a separate process. >> we're talking about between now and 30 days from now. >> this is preeminently where a president has to lead and be specific. you can't expect the republicans to lead on an area that he's dominated in politically. >> here's an entitlement idea, a way to help support medicare, let them dictate price -- drug prices. >> steve, this, to me, is a much more interesting debate than tom and dan. because i think the president has done exactly what he's done in the past in this negotiating. he's not grinding it out with speaker boehner. he's out giving speeches, rallying his base. meeting with groups like moveon.org.
